Pippa, he himself is the product of a south-north union! His mom is a Mallu and his dad is a Punjabi. So no wonder people from across the nation (and may I add across nations?)love him.

I have to agree with Muneeza and Krishna on Rajeev. I found the guy very handsome but was not very impressed with his acting. So he did not click for me. No offence to Rajeev fans but that is just my opinion. Shabbo in KTH put me off because of his characterisation (I started watching only the reruns so did not know his transformation later), although I was impressed with his acting. It took me his role in KYM as Milind to really sit up and take notice of him, both for his acting and his looks. Now, as I said earlier, I see him differently as Rishi.

I agree I never found Rajeev appealing just loved his dialogues which ofcourse were credited to Dheeraj Sarna. I personally found Shabbir much more charismatic and sensuous.I simply found it wonderful when his character went a drastic change for the better that too.But it definitely is Milind who has my heart racing for him at break neck speed.😊

What!!? His mom's a Malayalee? I thought she might be a Goan. He said his maternal grandpa's name is Sebastian. That's not a very common Mallu christian name.

Same here. I thought he was trying to copy Rajesh Khanna as he looks a lot like the younger Rajesh.

I never knew that, thanks for the info Opti.

Am not 100% sure, but I think Shabbo's mom attended the ITA 04 awards, I remember vaguely him hugging a lady, and he thanked his mom in his thank u speech and I think he mentioned that she was sitting in the audience.😊

In this article, shabbir mentioned that his mom is a catholic. Here is the full article:

Fashionably Wicked: Shabir Sebastian Ahluwalia
Text by Jayashree Menon and Photographs by Ankur Chaturvedi
Published: Volume 14, Issue 2, March-April, 2006
The Casanova of tellyville, Shabir Sebastian Ahluwalia, has won a slew of style icon awards with his untidy, unkempt looks

In a recent episode of Kahiin to Hoga, Rishi Grewal winked, "One girl, one week, that's my philosophy." Viewers cheered lustily, happy that their favourite Casanova of tellyville was back to his marauding ways.
Shabir Sebastian Ahluwalia claims he's nothing like the character he portrays on screen, except for the almost adulatory love he and his character, Rishi, share for their respective elder brothers. "I love my BB (big brother to the uninitiated) Sameer even more than Rishi loves Sujal," he says rather unabashedly. Was his name inspired by Amar Akbar Anthony? "No, no nothing like that," he laughs. "My dad is Punjabi so that's where the Ahluwalia comes from; my mom's a Catholic which explains the Sebastian and as for Shabir - well they just liked the name."
This Mumbai lad loved sports as much as acting and as a student, dabbled in both whilst pursuing his BCom. Even before he graduated, he had done a few episodes of the youthful serial, Hip Hip Hurray.
If playing the wild and audacious Rishi in Kahiin To Hoga has won him an enduring fan following, then co-hosting Nach Baliye, with Sangeeta Ghosh, proved that he was no mean dancer himself. He's also looking forward to the X Files-inspired Karmic Connection.
Why the untidy, unkempt look? "I'm too lazy and this works for me." Obviously it does, for he's already won a slew of style icon awards. "Most actors are so well-groomed that I stand out in contrast!"
